I am not sure about what to think of this. Is this really official, final,
and irrevocable? Does this mean that, besides changing from GTK+ to QT when
going from Maemo 5 to Maemo 6, we'll have to cope with even more
differences? What will become of Maemo's base API and behaviour? Won't the
next Nokia Linux-based phone will be something of a Frankenstein monster?

Won't this move scare away developers that strive for a stable platform on
which to develop?

Best regards,

Cláudio (Patoia)
